Behind the Print with Amy Willis

Join Smartpress and AIGA Minnesota for an evening of visual globetrotting with Ker + Downey graphic designer Amy Willis as she shares her inspiration and approach to creating the luxury tour company’s bi-annual print travelog, Quest.

Amy is as passionate about her craft as she is travel. And to prove it, in 2017, the 8-5 in-house graphic designer turned digital nomad, signed up for a year long, 15-country, 3-continent odyssey through REMOTE YEAR, a company that facilitates travel and accommodations for people interested in working remotely.

The experience was life-changing for this Houston suburbanite. Since her return in January, she’s more driven than ever to create layouts that evoke her favorite response, “I’ve got to go there.” If the latest issue is any indication, we suspect it won’t be long before dozens of new armchair travelers are packing their bags.

Don’t miss your opportunity to get a first-hand account of this fascinating design backstory. Join us for the evening, post-interview Q&A and happy hour. Beer, wine, and snacks served.
